The trip had its ups and downs. There was a lengthy stop at a library and a huge rush for shopping/eating. I would have gladly foregone the library tour for more time experencing the local food scene.
Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear that the itinerary didn't fully match your expectations. This tour is specially designed for cruise passengers who have limited time in port, so our goal is to showcase Helsinki's highlights as possible within the available time. The stop at the Central Library Oodi is included because it is one of Helsinki's most iconic modern landmarks and is located right in the heart of the city, making it an important part of the sightseeing experience. We understand that some guests would prefer to spend more time exploring local restaurants or shopping instead. If you're looking for a more flexible itinerary tailored to your personal interests, we would recommend booking one of our private tours, where the schedule can be customized to suit your preferences. Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope to welcome you on another tour in the future. Kind regards, Natalia Vexperio
Good tour. Lots of great history and facts. Lucas was very knowledgeable but sometimes we passed a site before he told us about it.

Our guide was interesting and informative. We vert much enjoyed our stops and interesting fact about Finland and Helsinki.
We had a great day exploring Helsinki with George as our guide. The tour was well planned out and gave us a good mix of sightseeing, local history, and free time to enjoy the city. We especially enjoyed finishing the day at the food market, which was a great way to experience some local flavours. Overall, we were very happy with the experience and would recommend it to anyone visiting Helsinki
The tour included quite a bit of sightseeing from the comfort of our sprinter van. The driver was very safe and efficient, and our guide, Tanya, was awesome. She provided so many interesting facts and a lot of fun commentary. She pointed out a lot of key things along the ride and also lead us on several walking portions of the tour. She did a great job explaining Finland history, as well insights on the current state for the country.
I don’t like leaving bad reviews but I hope this helps others. This tour was not a good experience. To begin with the van we were in had very low windows that mass it difficult to take pictures. Considering this was a mostly driving tour (pass by) most of the sights, and we passed by quickly, we got very few good pictures. Or guide was pleasant but gave us very little in the way of the historical perspective of Finland. The Oodi Library was the highlight of the tour. As an example, while at the Oodi I asked the tour guide about a sculpture across from the library and what it represented. He responded “It is art”. Based on what we saw and experienced on this tour, we would not return to Finland. We do not recommend this tour.
Dear Steve, Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We are very sorry to hear that the experience did not meet your expectations and understand your disappointment, especially when it came to the limited sightseeing experience, difficulty capturing photos, and the level of historical insight provided during the tour. Our goal is always to deliver engaging, informative, and memorable shore experiences, and we regret that this tour fell short for you. Your feedback regarding vehicle comfort, tour pacing, and guide commentary is valuable and will be reviewed internally as we continuously work to improve the guest experience. We truly appreciate you sharing your perspective. Warm regards, Julia Vexperio

Excellent guide gave us a full history of Finland and took us to some very interesting places. The library was fabulous. He even gave us some Finnish chocolate to try 😋
Dear Sharron, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was truly our pleasure to be part of your holiday, and we’re so happy we could help create special memories during your visit. Thank you for choosing to tour with us, and we hope to welcome you on another adventure in the future! Warm regards, The Vexperio Team
Very knowledgeable guide. He was receptive to individual requests. Only negative- this group was hard to find in a very busy port since he did not have a sign identifying the tour. Also difficult to follow him on crowded streets. A sign or identifiable outfit would have helped.
Dear Cynthia, Thank you very much for joining our Deluxe Helsinki Shore Excursion and for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you found our guide knowledgeable and responsive to your requests. We apologize for the difficulty in finding the group at the port. Normally, we always display a sign with our company logo to make the group easy to spot. On this occasion, the guide had temporarily lowered the sign while speaking with another part of the group, which made it less visible. We have addressed this with our team to make sure it does not happen again. Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope to welcome you on another tour in the future. Warm regards, Julia Vexperio
